Lyrics

"I Wasn't There" by KunzyPoet

I wasn’t there when Jesus agonized, 

Sweating drops of blood from his brow that night 

As he bowed before his Father 

And pleaded In the garden

Asking God for another way

For Him to save the human race

I wasn't there after Jesus obeyed

God’s will for his death and then was betrayed 

His disciples ran, all afraid 

The violent mob took him away

to face the rage of angry priests

Who quickly signed his death decree

But It should have been me on the cross

But instead

My soul is saved

I deserved to die 

But Jesus

took my place

And gave me eternal life

I wasn’t there when the spies told all their lies 

And when they spat upon his face with spite 

Then in disgrace he was stripped 

Tied to a post where he was whipped 

Made to carry a heavy cross

Didn't they know they were killing God?

It should have been me on the cross

But instead

My soul is saved

I deserved to die 

But Jesus

took my place

And gave me eternal life

I wasn’t there

But if I'd been

Would I have forsaken him?

I wasn't there 

But if I were

would I have left him and cursed?

I wasn't there

But if I was  

It should have been me on the cross

But in my place, Jesus was

My soul is saved

I deserved to die 

But Jesus

took my place

And gave me eternal life

My soul is saved

I deserved to die 

But Jesus

took my place

And gave me eternal life

But Jesus

took my place

And gave me eternal life
